Recipe for falafels in cabbage wraps
Have you ever tried making falafels? Crispy little bites with a soft and spicy center. They are perfect for meat-free days and can be used in many ways. Here, I have used them in cabbage wraps, but they can also be used in tortillas, pita bread, in a salad, or perhaps in a Buddha bowl – the possibilities are numerous. In this dish, they were perfect in a cabbage wrap, delightfully complemented by fresh spinach, avocado, fresh tomatoes, and a homemade herb dressing. A super lovely, healthy, and easy everyday dish.
You need chickpeas for the falafels, and you can either soak some overnight or use canned ones, which are ready to use immediately. The latter was used in this version, and it works super well, and is convenient on days when you want things to go a bit faster.
